Mansplaining in Icelandic is hrútskýring. This is a play on útskýring, which means explanation, while hrútur is a ram 🐑
The awkwardly hilarious moment I realized I was the same shade as the walls.... ...actually, I think I'm even paler. 🤣
Hey @theoperageek.com Have all the fun this weekend making the loudest of mouth noises.
...welp. 😳
*whispers* aw yiss
i can't think of anything more on brand than weaponry made in to jewelry tbh unless it was dice sitting on nat 1's
also please note that is an official publicity shot for a professional event, and I'm wearing BATTLE AXE EARRINGS
It has been a long time since I could say I was the sole singer at a gala concert (myself, a harpist, and pianist), but to get a notice that this weekend at The Sembrich Gala is sold out is...happy soprano feels. I shall make so many loud noises with my face! #OperaGeek #SopranoLife
*whisper* oh no #ADHD goblin brain had a wild new idea for sorting music so I can 'know what you have and make it easy' NO ONE WAS AROUND TO STOP ME AND NOW
Behold! My finished build for Saga: Blade of the Threadweaver! This piece is also a measurement tool for #Daggerheart combat. The video for this goes live for supporters next week, then will be up on YouTube September 5th!
don't make me talk to myself :(
And I am live finishing up my run as Genghis Khan in #CivilizationVII! I cannot promise kittens or doggo, but hey, we shall see. See you in chat! twitch.tv/theoperageek
At 12PM EST, join me for the final age of our Genghis Khan run in. #CivilizationVII! As I'm going into final prep mode for the concert on the 30, this will be the last stream till Sept. See you in chat! Twitch.tv/TheOperaGeek

I worked in Texas.
Oh gosh, I'm not sure what I'm doing to require thanks, but thank you! Also, ha! I was just watch TwoSetViolin's video on Suzuki! I would not have had the patience at that age for it.
NGL I always sat there
..........this is disgusting.
My brother did not want to conga. My brother did not want to get picked to come onstage. So of course, I picked him to come onstage, as any good sister would.
The moment when you realize that your mom has pictures on her FB of you dressed for daily performance AND Halloween events...when you worked for Seaworld. @_@ Srsly I was probably the whitest girl singing gloria estefan this world has ever seen
So far, no dice. Seems Wi-Fi is working (but not reliable for OBS game streaming), but the broadband is toast atm. Only update I'm getting is 'this is usually resolved within 16 hours'. Argh.
....assuming of course that Verizon fixes the Internet that just went out by then. Argh.
Hedgehogs! Today's stream will start a tad earlier than usual so I can finish conquering the world before my rehearsal this afternoon. So come join me at 11:30AM EST for some more #CivilizationVII! twitch.tv/theoperageek
And I'm live, continuing in the Exploration Age with Genghis Khan! Come join me for my inevitable demise, but AMUSINGLY. twitch.tv/theoperageek
It is a universally accepted idea that in the standard movie musical, no one is surprised at the sudden outbreak of an unseen orchestra and a hitherto taciturn gangster can now rhyme with a vocabulary that would make Henry Higgens weep.
In about 20 minutes, join me (and whichever pet decides to be on camera) as we finish up playing Genghis Khan in #CivilizationVII! We were actually doing well as we headed into the Exploration Age, but...I probably just jinxed it. See you in chat! www.twitch.tv/theoperageek
And I'm live in an attempt to conquer the known world as Genghis Khan in #CivilizationVII! Listen, I never said I was GOOD at the new Civ. I just said I love PLAYING it. You get what you get.😅 See you in chat! twitch.tv/theoperageek
well i still think you're neat as heck
Oh nooooo Thank you
So it has been rough. We will get through it, and part of the coping will be me venturing forth from the Mongolian steppes with my fearsome kitten companion to conquer the world ...in about an hour. See you then! twitch.tv/TheOperaGeek
A few people reached out, so let me please say I'm ok. I didn't mean to alarm! In June/July we've had PJ being let go from his long time job; then my dear friend passing so suddenly; and finally, last Saturday, my car transmission giving out on the parkway. when it rains it pours?
Oh, how I feel that. When people have got their step up the ladder, they no longer care about kicking you in the face
It was a not great weekend on top of a not great two months so today I shall become Genghis Khan for (totally not my third restart) and try to conquer the known world in #CivilizationVII around 1PM! Let us go forth and conquer with my kitten at my side twicth.tv/theoperageek
INCOMING MESSAGE! Some of you probably guessed this, but here's the announcement vid for ya anyway! I'll see y'all this Autumn with new maker videos on YouTube. youtu.be/-KMTT2Yw3II?...
Abuse isnt an Olympic competition.
Alright, here's what Saige did to me. If you're a PoC you are not safe around her. The last THREE YEARS have been heartbreaking and soul-crushing, and I'm SO glad to finally be able to speak out publicly. I'm still at SDCC, so I may add more later: www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/rcfsd...
💖
And I'm live, doubling up on new #CivilizationVII content by trying my hand at both new leader Genghis Khan and civ Assyria! Come join me to see if I receive assistance from my Khajiit counselor or if she will just ignore me (As usual) See you in chat! twitch.tv/theoperageek
........WallE.
In (about) half an hour, join me as we take a little vacation from #OblivionRemastered and pop over to see some of the new #CivilizationVII updates! I'm sure they will only make me play better. ....right? Twitch.tv/theoperageek
I spent too many years of my life being relentlessly bullied while people like you stood by and waited to see which was going to be the more advantageous side to take. I'm not about to let you do that to other people, especially friends of mine, without calling your ass out.
What truly amazes me is the amount of people who suddenly pull the 'i've always been on your side' bullshit with someone as soon as it is convenient for them. The problem with that is that we all heard the silence that preceded your sudden 'friendship' and 'support'.
Spoke with Surena, checked in, and I’m only going to say a few things. (Even if she did say I can let the chopper sing) The only reason I’m saying anything is because while everyone wants to step away “until they have all the facts”, that didn’t stop many people from spreading the lies via texts.
And I'm live! Esme is still in her post-surgical onesie and feeling feisty about it, so I'm SURE this will go SUPER well with her on camera. Come join me in #Oblivion! twitch.tv/theoperageek
In about half an hour, join me as we continue climbing the latest #Oblivion tower! I'm sure it will be fine. I've never had a problem in combat. Its fine. twitch.tv/theoperageek
I AM VERY SMOL AND YOU CAN IMAGINE THE STRESS I AM UNDER SINCE MY HUMANS APPARENTLY CANT UNDERSTAND BASIC BORKS DO BETTER @theoperageek.com (Narrator: Scotty was, in fact, walked five minutes after this video was taken) #BeamMeUpScotty #RescueDogs
I WAS SO DAMN MAD
“Gods don't like people not doing much work. People who aren't busy all the time might start to think.” ― Terry Pratchett, Small Gods #Discworld (I personally believe 'gods' is interchangeable with 'governments' here.)
hauled ALL my tools to the office i'm in today to cut a cord drop, only to find my drill is dead and I don't have the charger and I spiked three cans of seltzer with a drill bit and they went spraying everywhere so i'm sure you can see the kind of day i'm having i see you all laughing at me, rude
And I'm live continuing on in my #Oblivion journey! I think we ended on me joining the thieves guild..... Come join me! twitch.tv/theoperageek
This is why I always cheat in those games to give me infinite carry weight. If they didn't want me to pick up 472 brooms they shouldn't have put them all over the place.
In about 45 minutes, join me as I try to spend a couple hours romping around in #ElderScrollsOblivion! Don't miss such thrilling moments as...uh...me complaining about my carrying weight ability multiple times? twitch.tv/theoperageek
One (1) smol kitten is on her way to get her spay sorted out, and she was VERY VOCALLY unhappy on that ride You'd think I was torturing her instead of her having a fluffy bed inside a mesh carrier
Nice to see our local library running a game of Wanderhome by @jdragsky.bsky.social!
sample time
Reasons I shouldn't imbibe adult beverages while ALSO being sad... ....I just realized I yelled MUEVASE PUTITA at my cat in an opera voice loud enough that the sweet abuela down the hall probably heard me.... .....oh no
Live now. Love if you'd join me, if only to hear about my amazing friend Stephanie. twitch.tv/theoperageek
In about ten minutes or so, I'm going to go live on Twitch. I'll be talking about my friend for a little bit, so content warning for death and cancer. Then I'll go smash an #Oblivion gate to make myself feel better. I hope some of you join me. twitch.tv/theoperageek
So many lovely places, but Edinburgh Castle takes the cake for me here! Have fun!
I will MAYBE try to stream later in the day for a bit just to talk about her and take out my anger on an oblivion gate. But I don't know. I'm sorry. I'll post here when I know. ❤️
TW - death, illness Hey hedgies. I know I promised I'd stream at noon today. Sadly, Sunday night I had to say goodbye on a phone call to one of my oldest friends. She passed later that night from stage 4 pancreatic cancer that was only diagnosed last month.
Don't ever pass up a chance to tell your friends and family - biological or chosen - that you love them. You don't know when the day will come that they won't be there to hear it.
And I'm live, grinding out some more levels before I...you know...try to bareknuckle fight a bunch of cultists. Like ya do. See you in chat! #Oblivion twitch.tv/theoperageek
In about an hour, join me for some more levelling/exploration/gotta get strong to invade a cult in #ElderScrollsOblivion! twitch.tv/theoperageek
oh no two of my favorite things combined
A few more photos from my lovely publicity/family photoshoot with the wonderful Angela Deldin! PJ's mom and mine have been asking us for photos for about a decade, plus i DID chop so much of my hair off, so I figured...may as well do them both at once. 😂 #Publicity #SingerLife
Since I once again decided to make massive setup changes ten minutes before live, all you're getting on cam is Esme.... ...WITH THE NEW PET GREEN SCREEN. Come watch me fail spectacularly in #Oblivion! See you in chat! twitch.tv/theoperageek
In about half an hour, join me as we jump back into #Oblivion for a couple hours! Given the heat + storms, it may be slightly shorter than normal....but I hope to see you there in chat! twitch.tv/theoperageek
Hey hedgehogs, Given the stress of the last few weeks and continuing, I am going to take the day today to catch up on things and try to rest. I'll be back Tuesday! I'm so sorry for the overly late notice!
Toby out here trying to steal my man with kisses @praxthebard.bsky.social come get your pup
Toby out here trying to steal my man with kisses @praxthebard.bsky.social come get your pup
And I'm live! The 'real world' is a dumpster fire...so come join me in Tamriel for an #Oblivion stream where we get to live such fantasies as: - Being healed with no pre-auth! - Getting rest when we need it! - Being paid for our freelance work! See you there! twitch.tv/theoperageek
I was trying to write the word "Wildborne" in my notes while working on these DH community changes. At least, that was my intent; my pure, wholesome, innocent intent. ... I regret/am pleased to inform you that "Wildboner" is now a community option in Daggerheart. Go wild. It has begin.
Pleased to announce I'm now part of the @bandainamcousa.bsky.social Creator Collective!! Thanks for having me Bandai!
Stream will start a little later due tow ork stuffs, so we'll get going around 1PM with our Oblivion run! It is yet again too damn hot for lights & my camera (our window AC already working hard enough!), but the pets will be there with bells on. See you then! twitch.tv/theoperageek
Friend: Convince me not to buy this. Me: I am—literally—a professional enabler. Not only did you come to the wrong neighborhood, you came to the wrong planet. I'm about to hold an entire TED talk on why you should treat yourself.
Maskerade remains one of the best portrayals of an opera company ever
I'm live with #Oblivion, continuing my first time playing through the game. The game which lets me, with my incredible attention span, get distracted every two seconds. This...is fine. twitch.tv/theoperageek
In (About) half an hour, join me as we pop back into #OblivionRemastered! I think I was hunting a vampire hunter who hunted a guy that was definitely not a vampire but the vampire hunter is Totally not confusing See you there! twitch.tv/theoperageek
It has been a stressful ten days, LOL
For those who missed it (mostly because we haven't talked about it much), PJ (aka, the husband) was let go from his job last week. I'm trying to convince him that since he has some time, he and I could stream some co-op games on my channel. Any suggestions/thoughts?
you dared
Did you know that you can buy 1 pound containers of dehydrated marshmellows Don't ask me how I know this I can't answer you, my mouth is full of dehydrated marshmellows
And I'm live with my first run at Himiko in #CivilizationVII! The new June Update is MASSIVE - we will go over it before we start! Come join us! twitch.tv/theoperageek
In about half an hour, join me as we jump into #CivilizationVII with the June update - it looks HUGE! I'll do my best to have at least pets on camera, but with at least a 102 F heat index, we will be lucky to not melt! See you soon! twitch.tv/theoperageek
i just accidentally dumped all the mashed potatoes from my frozen tv dinner that is my work lunch in the trash. all i have now is a sad brick of what i think is meatloaf. so that is a pretty good indicator of how my day/week is going
Thanks to all who popped into stream to hear me ranble & get chased by (in game) trolls! For any hedgies who missed it, the earlier stream cancelled because 5 minutes before start of stream my hubs got let go from his job. So, ya know. 😂 We sent our group over to @prokesadia.bsky.social!
I'm live for a bit levelling up Oblivion because I *totally* didn't restart to make my character prettier, nope... Join me for some Elder Scrolls & chat about why I didn't go live earlier. ...and I finally remembered to give Esme her own points reward. twitch.tv/theoperageek
“The thing is, I mean, there’s times when you look at the universe and you think, “What about me?” and you can just hear the universe replying, “Well, what about you?” " ― Terry Pratchett, Thief of Time #Discworld
Scratch that. No stream. Not good news just hit and I won't be in the mood to do so.
At 1pm, join me for a couple hours of a (restarted) first playthrough of #OblivionRemastered! .....restarted because now I know mostly how the game works.... See you soon! twitch.tv/TheOperaGeek
Yep!
I mean the degree has to be worth something
YOU GET 2 D10 I HAVE SUNG YOU A VERY LOUD SONG
